Abstract
Scrolling data in a display window having peripheral controls on a user interface of a data processing system includes a two-dimensional scrolling control that is integrated as part of the peripheral controls. The two-dimensional scrolling control includes at least three directional components. Each directional component is associated with a direction on the display window, and at least one of the directions corresponds to a change in both of the two dimensions. User input is accepted from a user. The user input includes a selected directional component. The data in the display window is scrolled in the direction associated with the selected directional component.
